Adam M's Thread, for Gab's Army |
HEY MAN, I really need your help...
...the thing is, I need you to start progressing faster then ever, but to achieve that I need your help:
* Don't know where to start? Just pm me and we will sort it out directly, I am online every day.
* Join My Army. Sounds aggressive? It is! We can study anything from the most fearsome picking techniques to bombastic songwriting. A medal of honor awaits the brave. Seriously, this is an opportunity for you to get a personalised learning experience...what are you waiting for?!
* Join my next video chat! GMC startpage holds a video chat schedule. We always cover a lot of ground and have fun. Remember that you don't need any previous knowledge, and you can be passive in the chat.
* Jam with me - you will find active collabs here.
* Post a topic on this board, guitar related or not - doesn't matter! You will find that chatting with instructors boosts your motivation to practice.
* You haven't missed my latest video lessons, have you?
* Finally I want to tell you a secret. Nah I changed my mind - pm me instead ;)

What about practicing in front of your camera?
 After some days/weeks, it will became a normal situation. -------------------- My lessons

Ok, let's work on this. Don't feel bad about this, it's very normal. I also experiment REC bottom syndrome and I can assure you that most of us (guitarists) experience it.
Let's do an exercise. What about posting here daily videos (not necessary every day, you can share 3 per week) just playing whatever you want. It can be the easiest lick, riff or idea that you know, it can be the first song you've learn... The vids don't need to be perfect, you can share them with errors, or wrong notes.. you can also set them as unlisted at youtube if you don't want other people finds them. We won't use this to monitor your practice by now, we'll use it as an experiment... what do you say? Are you in? -------------------- My lessons

I did today's video and started a separate thread for the experiment. Maybe knowing others can see it will work even better for me. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=61261 This post has been edited by Adam: Sep 4 2020, 09:23 PM --------------------   |

Hi Adam! Great to see a second video!
Whatever you do will be ok. You can re-record it or you can go for a new one. These vids are only to get used to record. One question.. why aren't you using your left hand thumb to hold the neck in the new video? -------------------- My lessons

Hi Adam! Nice! Nightwish sounds are cool for practice. They have amazing riffs and metal rhythms. It will definitely help you with your guitar progress. Let me know if you need any help with the songs.
Is it bad I'm not using the thumb? It's not a common practice, but I'll ask Todd about the reason or objetives behind it. Don't worry. -------------------- My lessons

Amazing song!!! I could see them live during Once's World Tour.
Well, the first thing that you need to be able to play is open G sting in 16th notes. From what I can hear, that guitar is in Standard D tuning, so this is a riff that keeps open 3rd string (the sound is F) as a pedal note. I've prepared 4 "warm up" exercises based on this riff so you can work on them to get used gradually to it. Please try them, work at a very slow tempo, over the GP file or metronome and let me know what happens.

I keep my SG in D tuning, so it should be fine. The exercise isn't that hard when I do it slowly, carefully and with somewhat focus. That kind of picking appears a lot in Finnish and not just Finnish power metal songs, so learning that would open a whole new world for me. I added another video in the experimental thread but for some reason, it's not displayed nor listed as the "latest". This post has been edited by Adam: Sep 8 2020, 08:45 PM -------------------- |

Yeah! It was nice to see them with Tarja! It was a killer show, very energetic, and it was in one of my favorite places to see bands live here.
Great to know that you are playing the exercises. If possible share a video or audio here so I can check how the exercises are going. I'm checking your experimental video in a moment. That forum issue is now fixed. -------------------- My lessons

Don't worry. The idea is that you share vids every day if it's possible. You can play/record the first thing that comes to mind, it can even be an improvisation. You amp sound is ok for this purpose.
